Allen point off £147,000 pot
Mark Allen made Crucible history yesterday with the first 146 break at the World Championship.
Leading 3-2 against Mark Davis in their second-round match, the 24-year-old Irishman produced an almost perfect score in frame six.
After five reds and blacks, he lost position and had to settle for a pink before resuming normal service and clearing up for a 146.
